Marllon Gonçalves Jerônimo Borges (born 16 April 1992), simply known as Marllon, is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a central defender for Atlético Goianiense.
Club career
Marllon was born in Rio de Janeiro, and started his youth career at Estácio de Sá before being released by Fluminense. After spells at Bangu and Cruzeiro, he joined Flamengo’s youth setup in 2009.
On 21 January 2012, after returning from a failed loan at Duque de Caxias, Marllon made his senior debut by starting in a 4–0 home routing of Bonsucesso for the Campeonato Carioca championship. He made his Série A debut on 7 June 2012, playing the full 90 minutes in a 2–2 away draw against Ponte Preta.
Regularly used under Joel Santana, Marllon lost his space after the arrival of Dorival Júnior, and subsequently served loans at Boavista and Rio Claro, where he failed to impress. On 7 May 2014 he signed for Série B club Santa Cruz, after his contract with Flamengo expired. After again appearing rarely, he subsequently left the club and joined Capivariano.
On 26 May 2015, Marllon moved to Atlético Goianiense, also in the second level. An undisputed starter during the 2016 season, he contributed with two goals and 36 appearances as his side achieved promotion to the top tier as champions.
